use avx stress testing for OCing?

[AkSo2504]

Hello,

should i use programms to stress test the cpu which use AVX?

mainly because of temps, for example: when testing with avx im at 85C so i wont oc further, but when i test without avx and im at 70-75C i could still go further.

any suggestions?

Test what you use and know you have to adjust for AVX workloads if those aren't what you're testing on. 

 

Also, which CPU?

i7 8700k

What program are you using? Realbench is a good blend of AVX and non-AVX tasks if you're looking for something that is lighter than Prime95 (since that's what most people think of when they want to stress AVX loads).

Can't you set a separate AVX OC with an 8700K?

i think you mean the avx offset. i would love to use it but there is a well known problem with z370 boards and the avx offset triggering even when there is nothing running with avx.

it likes to change between the avx offset ratio and the oc ratio in games all the time.

i mostly game on my pc, i think i will use aida64 for stress testing, fpu:on means avx and fpu:off means non avx

Ahhh.  Well that is a problem then.
